Hey guys, it's been a while! I have been keeping a detailed feeding and weight chart ever since I got Frostbite, my snow. He was born in the month of July, which would put him at about 5 to 6 months old now. My last weighing period was 11/26, he weighed 18.4 grams. Coupled with finals week and...

I have an unusually hard time finding good pictures of snow corns. Seeing as the snake I have is a snow, I'm really curious to see some pictures of yearling and adult snows! I'm interested to see what kinds of snows people here have; yellowy snows, greenish snows, pinkish/coral snows... I love...

Over the past few months that I've been perusing the cornsnakes forum, I've read and connected with so many threads concerning "this person in my life hates my snake... how do you deal with it?" I haven't yet found a thread that really analyzes the roots of why some people are inherantly afraid...

Hey everyone! I know it's been a long time since I last updated on the state of affairs with Calcifer, the non-eating miami phase corn snake that belonged to my friend. Well, today we had another major breakthrough-- He ate his first pinky!!! We've been keeping a pet-grade anole alive to...

I recently attended the IHS ( www.iaherp.org ) reptile sale in Des Moines. I fully expected to purchase a "Sunburn" to go with my "Frostbite" (a sunglow motley/plain sunglow), but instead, I came home with a Rhacodactylus Ciliatus! He/she is about 3 months old, unsexed, purchased from Andrew...

I'm by no means an awesome sculptor, even though I am a "fine artist". But, I thought it would be fun to make some stuff for my snake. This sculpture actually started out as a big dinosaur I was going to drop in his cage.... but he got mushed down and turned into this really cliché oasis water...

I'm just curious. I myself am an illustrator, and I'm a tad curious about putting my big toe into the herp art water. Are there any herp artists out here that would be willing to chat it up about painting/drawing snakes? I'm interested about how the general public here feels about herp art. Is...

I duno if this happens to anyone else, but my little baby snow, Frostbite, has a tendency to actually MOVE the things in his viv. Just about every other night I swear he spends the whole time pushing around his two hides and his water dish. It's amazing, I'll find his water dish in the opposite...

Is anybody going to this one? I know it's probably a shot in the dark, but man, I'm so ready to meet some friendly snake lovers out there. I'm really just getting so many non-positive reactions about my newly acquired corn snake from everyone around me and I need to get me some snake-love talk...

I plan on making my own 30-gallon vivarium for my corn snake over this coming summer when he is old enough to graduate from his 10-gallon, and I'd like to start gradually preparing materials for my build. That includes some plans! I've seen only one make-it-yourself vivarium plan on the...

I had posted earlier about my ex's snake having feeding problems. He's going on week 3. So far his behavior seems to have improved. I've been monitoring his activity since the conditions in his tank have been changed. He is now in a 10 gallon tank with his heated side adjusted to 83 degrees...

Teehee. For the cuteness!

I've been around for the past few weeks or so, lurking and posting my newb questions about snakes, so some of you may have seen my somewhat jumbled stories spanning across a few threads about my little baby snow, Frostbite, and my ex-now-friend's snake Calcifer that was shipped with Frostie in...

I can't tell when my snake is sleeping. I think I might have an idea... Lately since he's been not using his hides and just laying around out in the open during daylight hours, I have a chance to just sit and stare at him. Normally if I get close to the glass he will turn his head to look at me...

I plan on putting my little one on the Munson Plan, but my ex insists on feeding every 7 days rather than every 5. Is feeding every week for his snake going to impact his health? Should I be trying to change his mind? Advice on how to deal with stubborn humans please! lol

I firmly believe that most creatures that walk this earth have very specific personalities and methods of thought-processing that makes them unique among the "peers" of their species. I was thinking today about this in regards to my snake, and I asked my ex, who's brother is a herpetologist...

YAY! Frostie is finally here! I'm so thrilled. Here are some first day photos of him before getting dropped into his viv. I couldn't resist taking some. He's so calm and curious! <3

This is just kind of a musing based on an experience I had today.. As I do not as of yet actually posess a corn snake yet (he's going to be sent in the mail to me very soon I hope), I've been hopping around everywhere looking for good deals on snake "need-to-haves" and snake "wants" for the...

Hi there! I'm new to corn snakes, and reptiles in general. Over this past week I've been deeply researching this forum and all over the internet about anything and everything concerning corns and proper care, just to make sure that my new little boy settles in with me happily. He's a little...
